An Island in an Earthen Sea
An apparent island in an earthen sea, this western realm of the Grand Canyon National Park may be part of the north rim but seems to float as an isolated land. With only one dirt road tracing its perimeter, this seems an idyllic place and one from which an intrepid traveler might gain a rare perspective on the canyon below. This is the sort of place I dream of wandering, a place of uncommon beauty lying in the line of common sight yet seeming as though a million miles from everywhere.
